"Okay, but do please dig them out without destroying the crown, I need it to be passive-aggressive at Elu Thingol with."

"A noble cause," Curufin says. "Why does he want the crown?"

Permalink

"Because the timing was wrong for him to ask for the head that wore it."

Permalink

Lúthien pops them to Angband before they can follow up on that line of questioning. 

They both smile delightedly at the Silmarils. Curufin neatly cuts them out of the crown, barely damaging it at all.

"Thanks!"

"Pleasure. We shouldn't take these to Earth - Himring will do, for now -"

Permalink

"Makes sense."

Pop.

"Do they do anything?" she asks Fëanáro curiously.

He looks at her as if he hadn't really noticed she was there. "Yes, of course."

"What?"

"Anything I want, with enough time."

Permalink

"That is a very strong claim."

Permalink

"Yes," he says, smiling at her. "They have areas of focus, obviously, they're not general-purpose omnipotence, but there's nothing that in principle, given time, I couldn't do. Why, got anything you need done?"

Permalink

"Yeah, actually, it turns out everybody I've turned up who feels really strongly that Version One puella magi should not turn into witches even if we forget to listen to our magic songs is themselves already a puella magi one way or the other and therefore has used up their wish already. Haven't found family members who can stretch it farther than a few people, no systemic solution yet."

Permalink

"Hmmm. How often does this happen, if the solution requires putting a Silmaril in orbit around Earth is that a good use of a Silmaril? I can't make more of them."

Permalink

"No, there's a distinctly finite number of version one puella magi. One of them is me and I don't want to find out what happens if I witch but one of the family members I checked was my dad, so."

Permalink

"It might be easier to give you all magic items that do whatever the happiness song does, then."

Permalink

"Only a strict improvement if it can do recharge with less direct mood effects; otherwise we'd just go around listening to it constantly."

Permalink

"I might be able to have it kick in if your soul's too low - I'll have to borrow Nelyafinwe's for closer study -"

Permalink

"He can't get too far away from it, so that's a potential logistical problem."

Permalink

Feanor looks at Curufin. "Is he going to fuss?"

"No."

"Then I suppose it'll have to be someone else."

Permalink

That doesn't make sense except for how it does. "The range limit applies to everybody. Also if you break the gem they die."

Permalink

"Maybe it should be Nelyo after all," says Curufin bitterly. 

"You could give me magical powers," he says, "and then I can experiment on my own."

Permalink

"Do you have a wish in mind?"

Permalink

"I want to learn everything."

Permalink

 

"I have no idea what that would do either for the wish results or the theme powers."

Permalink

"That's all right. I have my family back, I don't want anything else."

Permalink

"I can do wishes without the magic rock part but not the other way 'round. I can keep you in mind if I think of something you might be a candidate for though."
